THE CHILD YOU SAVE MAY BE. YOUR OWN
Public Support Is Essential
•■ The new U.S. Office of Management and the Budget is working to streamline the 108 agencies of the
Executive Branch of the Federal governmeint. It will
check on the effectiveness of Federal programs to determine; which ones should be expanded, re-directed,
curtailed, or eliminated.
In appealing for public support of this new program, Casper Weinberger, deputy director of the office
and responsible for budget preparation, said recently
that budget pressures in Washington are mostly upward, and "it is considered rather ill-bred to talk
about dropping a program." But he warned that the
next generation may find half of its time, activity,
and productivity going for government "simply because enough of us asked government to do something
that enough of us didn't want to do ourselves."
Th work of this new federal agency should have
a vote of confidence from all the taxpaying public!
Surely the need for economy in government was never greater.
Homework On Ecology
Some folks are driving around these days with a
bumper sticker or window decal featuring the slogan,
'•Ecology Now!" The presumption is that they are
thus calling for more concern about the present and
future, state of ecological balance. The fact is the

300 New Members Goal
For Local YMCA Drive
A training session on Monday, Feb. 1, will kick-
off the 1971 membership drive for the Community
Building-YMCA here and at other Y*g in the Canton
District. Throughout the drive dates, Feb. 1-17, an
information desk is planned for the lobby and staff
members win take prospective members on a tour of

This is mentioned: by way of noting that, while
there has been a great rise in the level of popular interest in ecology, many people who talk glibly about
it have only a vague understanding of what the word
Jmfcains. To be effective in the task of improving, mans
environment, they ought to do a bit of homework.
We are not being snide about this, but admit to
gaps in our own knowledge through which a tesam of
horses could be driven with room to spare. The point
here made is simply that waving a meaningless slogan
at onei's fellow men is of minimal value. Much more
than this is required of all of us who share the
uneasy — and imply justified — feeling that unless
man acts swiftly and with sustained vigor to halt the
environmental damage now being done, and can them
reverse the trend, this planet is on the way of becoming uninhabitable.
Ecology, simply defined, has to do with thet relations between living things—man, the rest of the myriad animal life that populates this planet, and plants,
and their environment. Laymen interested in contributing to the so-called ecology movement ought to
learn as much as they can about the complexity and
interdependence of these relations, and not just mouth
slogans.
The SST On The Merits
( It would have been a deplorable evasion had Congress wound up muffling the supersonic transport
controversy in a general approval of the Department
of Transportation budget. By the same token, it is
. gratifying that Congress instead resolved the dispute
temporarily by agreeing to take up the proposal as a
separate bill next March. This will permit a clear-cut
decision on a matter which has been vigorously contested over a considerable period of time.
The decision to be made is,- basically whether to
approve continuation of the federal subsidy for the
.SST project. In effect a negative decision would halt
work on this undertaking, since the aircraft industry
'And the airlines have no stomach for continuing the
SST development on their own.
The House and Senate are at odds on this. There
is talk of a ''compromise" which would reduce the 290
million dollars requested for the SST—but which
would be no compromise at all. It could not be considered a compromise because lowering the sum authorized would permit continuation of the project,
Which is precisely what it opponents object to. Thus
a "compromise" on a lesser figure would be in truth
be a victory for those who want the federal subsidy

most part, will be retained
in the new location as will
accounts from both firms, "Mr.
Schafer said.
'The Rexall affiliation will
also be retained by the firm,"
he said.
, This will be the central issue, then, when the 92nd
Congress takes up the SST question—not whether to
^dnMnue the project with less funding, which would in
effect stretch it out and ultimately raise the cost, but
whether to go on with it at all under federal auspices.
It is good to know that, rather than sweep this issue
under the rug, Congress has set the stage for consideration of the SST question on its merits.
